Trichloromethane market trend rises

Recently (12.1-12.22), the market for trichloromethane in Shandong has risen. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of December 22, the price of trichloromethane water in Shandong Province was 1966 yuan/ton, an increase of 3.51% from 1900 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month. The raw materials methanol and liquid chlorine still have some support. Downstream production remains low, dragging down the market for trichloromethane. The production of methane chloride has decreased, and the overall impact has led to an upward trend in the supply price of trichloromethane.
Recently (12.1-12.22), the methane chloride unit has slightly decreased to around 8.1%.
Recently, the price of methanol has slightly increased, while the price of liquid chlorine has remained stable, providing support for the cost of trichloromethane. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of December 22, the spot price of methanol was 2140 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.71% from 2125 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month. As of December 22, the acceptance price of liquid chlorine tank trucks in Shandong region remained stable at around 100 yuan/ton compared to the beginning of the month.
The demand for downstream refrigerant R22 continues to be weak, and the support for trichloromethane demand has weakened. The R22 quota will continue to decrease in 2025, which will have a negative impact on trichloromethane. In 2013, the baseline production quota for second-generation refrigerants in China was 426400 tons. After multiple pressure drops, it will be reduced to 163600 tons by 2025. Among them, the production quotas for R22, R142b, and R141b are 149100 tons, 0.34 tons, and 0.92 tons, respectively.
The methane chloride data analyst from Shengyi Society believes that the demand for trichloromethane is relatively weak; However, with certain support from cost and supply, it is expected that the trichloromethane market will mainly fluctuate and consolidate in the later period.
